Major Networks Lose Leader Debates – Bias Rumored To Be Cause

Prime Minister Steven Harper has decided to accept debate invites from Rogers/Macleans/CityTV which are outside of the traditional major networks. The NDP has also joined in and accepted the invites for the Rogers/Macleans/CityTV debates as well. As I noted last in last nights post, the political bias around the coverage of the Liberal party by these networks is becoming obvious. From misleading Canadians on copyright to try and protect the Liberal party from political attacks, to the lack of coverage of major social media backlash on the new anti-terror bill towards the Liberal party, all of this seems to have been the final nail on the coffin for the media consortium.
